Latest Updates

US imports of goods and services rose by $16.8 billion, or 5.0%, to $348.9 billion in November 2025, partially rebounding from a 21-month low of $332.1 billion in October, driven entirely by goods imports, which climbed $16.8 billion to $272.5 billion. Consumer goods led the gains, up $9.2 billion, largely due to higher pharmaceutical imports. Capital goods imports also increased by $7.4 billion, supported by stronger inflows of computers and semiconductors, while imports of other goods rose by $1.9 billion. In contrast, industrial supplies and materials fell by $2.4 billion. Meanwhile, services imports edged down $0.1 billion to $76.3 billion, weighed mainly by lower travel-related spending.
